Court dismisses certificate forgery suit against gov Abdulrazaq

Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday dismissed a suit seeking the disqualification of the Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq, from the 2023 election over alleged certificate forgery.

The judge gave the verdict while ruling on an application filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The party had in the application filed by its counsel, Paul Erokoro (SAN), alleged that the governor forged the West African Secondary School Certificate (WASCE) he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as part of the requirements for the election.
